Yep. As you probably noticed, that's what the failing test suggested:
*** This test has just failed. That can happen when the test is run in an
*** NFS-mounted directory on a system whose clock is not well synchronized
*** with that of the NFS server. If you think that is the reason, set the
*** environment variable SLEEP_SECONDS to some number of seconds larger than
*** the default of $DEFAULT_SLEEP_SECONDS and rerun the test.
